Résumé
Despite a huge number of advancements in the medical field, periodontitis still remains one of the most prevalent oral diseases worldwide. Thus, the primary aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of periodontal diseases in patients reporting to the tertiary healthcare setup in Ranchi.

The prevalence of periodontal disease was measured using the community periodontal index, simplified oral hygiene index, and stage of periodontitis. Descriptive variables were assessed using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviations, while the categorical analysis was performed using the Chi-square tests. General awareness about periodontal health and regular dental visits should be given utmost importance among the rural populations of every developing country.
